Notes

The Panerai Luminor Submersible watch is a reissue, based on the original design, of the timepiece that Panerai designed for the Egyptian Navy in 1956 and was intended for use by the Navy divers. This particular model has been made in a special edition, with the words Slytech Panerai on the dial (?Sly? is Sylvester Stallone?s nickname), and on the case, Stallone?s signature and the words ?Special Edition Sylvester Stallone?.
